Alex Pareene over at Gawker (despite the skepticism he and I shared about the truth of the story last year) posits that the "old" media is going to ignore this as long as possible and then eventually run it as a series of mea culpas about giving Edwards a pass. Me, on the other hand, I just sort of want to know why the Enquirer'soriginal story states "[Edwards] was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up," and the pictures clearly show him in a sweaty blue T-shirt. He looks like he's been exercising in that shirt, if the sweat stains are anything to go by, not working up a sweat as the original story implies. And, more interesting, one has to wonder—where's Rielle in the room? Or even the man she checked in with?

Could it be the regular media is ignoring it for a good reason? Without some better pictures, I'm wondering where the Enquirer's smoking gun is now.
